To answer the question.

Airlines publish oxygen escape routes for significantly large areas of terrain that have safety altitudes above 10,000'. We don't fly over the Himalaya but on our network Iran and East Africa are areas where escape routes are needed. The Alps don't cover a sufficiently large area to require it.
